KAY STIUTTLEWORTiI to the meeting at Bacup could hardly fail to be listened to with deep attention and interest. As High Sheriff of the county, and as one of the most pros minent members of that band of noble workers who have. done such good service during the cotton famine, Sir JAMES would always be welcome to a Lancashire audienca. The people and the history of the district are familiar to him—he knows their wants, their characteristics, their tone of thought and feeling. He can, too, look back through a good many years of active experience, and not only note for himself but point out to others the marvellous changes wrought in the last thirty or forty years. The occasion of his recent address was one which, from the present position of the country, was especially interesting. It was the annual assembly of the Union of Mechanics' Institutes of East Lan cashire—a union which comprises about a dozen groups of the evening schools of the manufacturing towns and large villages, many oT which aro con nected with the library, news-rooms, and lecture rooms of mechanics' institutes, and similar es tablishments. It is not a little remarkable that such institutions should have been able to hold their ground at all during a time of such severe and protracted trial, but that they should flourish sufficiently to go through their ordinary forms, and keep their regular ceremonials, is a significant sign of the times. The union, although missing the contributions of some of the master manufacturers, has received undiminished support from the landed gentry of the district. The youth of the neigh• bourhood have steadily continued their attendance. The number of candidates for prizes who have pre.. sented themselves at the annual examinations has not diminished, and the standard of acquirement has not fallen. What is, however, the most notice• able thing is that in some institutions, where the subscriptions had fallen off, the working men themselves have paid the charge for the hire of rooms, for lighting, fuel, and books, as well as guaranteeing to the Union the usual payment of half the salary of the organising master. These schools are by no means insignificant in number or character, since although this union only extends over a radius of eight miles, the evening classes have been attended by 1,800 scholars, one in every ten of whom present themselves for examination every mid-summer. Such facts show plainly the degree of intelligence and mental cultivation current in these districts, and this has no doubt exercised an important influence on the public tranquillity dun, ing the cotton famine. "Education," says Lord BROUGHAM, " makes men more easy to lead, but difficult to drive." Forty years ago, when physical force was the only argument thought of to reduce the working man to order, the weavers and their fellows resisted a temporary interference with the trade of the district with riot and outrage. The cotton spinners of our day have submitted to a time of prolonged distress with a fortitude and an order that have excited the admiration of the civilised world. Sir S. SLEUTTLEWORTH attributed the great change in men's minds and feelings to a variety of causes, prominent among which he placed the great increase in religious and moral training. " No, period," added Sir JAMES, " has been more remark able in our history than the last thirty years for a growth of sympathy in Parliament with the well. being of the workman." Be he agricultural la bourer or factory hand he is no longer in a position of such hardship and injustice as he was. The fac• tory acts have regulated the hours of labour, have protected the women and children, and, generally speaking, improved the discipline of the mills. The Saturday half holiday, the improvement in the cot tages, the opening of parks and gardens, the news and lecture rooms of mechanics' institutes, have all exercised an ameliorating influence, and have con. vinced the working classes of the goodwill of those above them. When we add to these agencies of the free libraries, which have brought the influence of our best English literature to bear on the more thoughtful workmen, the wide circulation of the press, which brings to every man's door the teach ings of the time, which trains his judgment, en larges his sympathies, and moderates his prejudices by showing him how other men think and feel and act, we shall better understand the progress of that remarkable change which has converted the theatre of the machine riots of 182 G into the scene of the heroic endurance and tranquillity of 1862.4. To the general content and political satisfaction of the masses Sir J. SHUTTLE WORTH adds another ingre dient. An intelligent, prudent, and skilful work man finds no difficulty in rising from the ranks, and therefore he looks to the class above him not with envy but emulation. A large proportion of the master manufacturers of Lancashire can trace their origin within one or two generations to work men, col'iers, or labourers. The Post-office sav ings-banks and other institutions afford facilities to the thrifty but less ambitious workmen to invest his savings in shops or building societies, or gas and water works. The great inventions of the cotton trade, the discoveries and improvements of HARGREAVES, of CROMPTON, of ROBERTS, and ARKWRIGHT have all come from the ranks. These men, who were all of humble origin, were, as Sir J. SHUTTLEWORTH finely said, the aristocracy of mind in the trade, and, though very few may share their genius, all can feel that prudence and applica- tioa will enable them to rise from the lower level. The vast increase in knowledge and education in the cotton districts has been shown by another sign. Instead of sharing the despondency felt by many persons, instead of being overwhelmed by the apps■ rent annihilation of their trade, the cotton workers have felt throughout a firm conviction of its resusci tation. Masters have enlarged their mills and added to their machinery, men have been content patiently to abide the issue. No other fabric has been found to supply the place of cotton, and its necessity is more than ever evident. Under these circumstances a stimulus has been given to cotton culture throughout the world which is even now producing important results. But Sir DAISIES SIIUTTLEWORTH thinks it wise to forewarn his hearers of the possibility of another trial. Should we depend on other countries for our supply of cot• ton, a maritime war would produce another crisis ; and would Lancashire endure a war policy with the same equanimity as she has submitted to the consequences of a peace policy ? We see no reason to doubt it, and, in the first place, it is improbable they would be so severely tried, The largest fleet in the world could hardly blockade every seaboard at once, and if our supplies are drawn from India, from Australia, from Africa, from the West Indies, and from South America it will need a good many ships to hinder their entries and exits. As for mari time guerillas, the English need not have much fear. Let them be free to act, free to equip their vessels and defend their property, and the docks that sent out the Alabama can equally send out vessels that will defy the privateer. France and Austria are the only two nations that can be spoken of as maritime antagonists, but the first wants the national gift of seamanship, and the latter will find quite enough to do in protecting her own shores without garrisoning all the seas with cutton piiates. So long as the trade of Lancashire rests upon our maritime supremacy it has a safe founda tion, and so long as the peace of tne district rests upon the intelligence and education of the masses, we have good reason to hope that every year will remove us further from the reign of strikes and riots which all good men must deplore, but from which none suffer so bitterly as the rioters them selves. There are few things more deplorable in the opinion of discerning persons than to think that those who have done their best, and devoted their lives to the service of their country, are not ade= quately provided for. It is true that noble edifices have been reared whivh are the prie of this land sums that are annually squandered upon preposte. rous schemes, thrown away through mere caprice, and wasted by mismanagement, it is enough to call forth the strongest indignation that men are allowed to languish in misery and die from want for aught that a country that should be mindfal of their preservation bestows, or that administrators of her service who should readily acknowledge their zeal and deplore their calamities will provide. Thousands are levied to suit the caprice of the moment, and yet a small sum cannot be spared to make provision for those whose lot is lamentable to think upon. It is not the way to induce others to give their years of strength and their prime of existence to a service that leaves in the lurch all who fall by the wayside, and ignores the claims of those who by every just right should be indemnified for their loss. Any one capable of comprehending the flaws of the management of our naval affairs could easily put his hand upon scores of items which have led to expenses that must be paid, but any one of which might have precluded these hapless . sufferers from dragging on a life that is a burden to their country—the reproach of their wrongs. It is true that this matter was taken in hand, and it is earnestly to be hoped that next session will not be allowed to pass away without some notice being made by independent members on the subject. The navy of this country should be our chief care to preserve in a due state of efficiency, and above all the seamen should be properly treated. It was by such gross overs 7 ght and culpable neglect, and such sheer indifference as this, that the best men are dragged away from our service and enter the navy. It is a shame and a scandal that it should be said that England does not know how to provide for her sailors, or worse still does not care to do so. It was the boast of a more spirited generation than the present that oar fi ig " had braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze," but the propelling power, the inciting influence that kept that flag un furled was the spirit of the hearts of oak who fought and fell beneath its colours. If we now become indifferent to the rightful claims of their successors we do not deserve that in an hour of need they should exhibit that daring and devotion, which in past times of peril have actuated and animated those who have saved Bri tannia in her darkened hour. It cannot be the wish of any one that brave men should suffer for the lack of necessaries, while on all sides sums are spent that would more than suffice for their wants upon trifles and trivialities. It is idleness or in difference that brings about such calamitous results, but let those who ought to rectify these abuses take heed to their ways, and bear in mind that " evil is wrought by want of thought as well as by want of heart," and endeavour to amend the errors into which they have fallen. No better proof could be given of their desire to improve than to make the occasion of these men being discharged inca pacitated an opportunity for reparation; let it not be said that they are another living reproof or dying reproach to their country. If anything were wanting to point the moral of this sad story it would be the timely recognition of the claims of these sufferers that was made by their shipmates. On the occasion of receiving their pay each put aside a little for the benefit of those so much in need, and the accumulated sums reached the amount of £5O. Small as this is for the necessities of the case, it is a confirmation, strong as proofs of holy writ, that a feeling of dissatisfaction was felt at the official arrangements and want of care and forethought. Such lamentable omission of impor tant duties and such great neglect of just claims is enough to disgust any rational man from entering the service at all. It is not thus that convicts and malefactors are treated ; and while all due attention should be paid to them, it does, indeed, seem too bad that the defenders of our homes and hearths, who are to go forth to brave the perils of the deep and take their chance of the enemy's shots, should be cast aside as a worn-out garment, or an imple ment that has served its turn, and is henceforth worthy of no more regard. It is not to be tolerated that this inconsistency should continue, and the sooner a change is made the better it will be for the honour of the country, the security of the ser. vice, and the reputation of those who put them selves forward in the management of affairs which they are not competent to arrange, and the failures in which result in serious loss to those who can the least afford to sustain them. THE CHEMISTRY OF DIGESTION.—The services rendered by modern discovery to the Materia lifedica of the age, and the singular aptitude with which chemistry is adapting these new elements of cure to the wants of the community, are facts of the most cheering and consolatary character. Among the secrets lately revealed is one con nected with the food solvent, known as gastric juice. When this agent is weak, or its tone temporarily destroyed, in digestion, hypochondriasis, and a thousand ills afflict the unfortunate invalid. To aid the digestive organs by sup plying them with accessions of vital force, Pepsine Wine has been called into requisition with marvellous success by Messrs. Morson and Son, the manufacturing chemists, of Southampton-row, Russell-square,—ldoining rose, Nov. 25, 1864. AN UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DROWNED.—Late on Saturday evening the body of a man was taken out of the Irwell, at Mode Wheel. It was very much de corn/088d, and appeared to have been in the water a long time. One leg, up to the knee, was missing; the other foot had on a white sock and a blucher shoe. About the body was a portion of an old black cloth coat, and cotton cord trousers. It appeared to be the body of a man about 60 years of age. There was a little black hair turning grey, on the scalp s The body lies at present at the Railway Inn, Crops-lano.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Inasmuch as the good ship Canada, sniling from Boston on Wednesday morning last, carried the ro • suit of the Presidential contest, and the fact that a large majority of the voters, of and in " the States, had re-chosen Mr Lincoln, it appears to me that pretty nearly all that is important on the subject to Europeans will be known " in due course"— anyhow before this communication reaches the British shore. American votes, whether for weal or woe to Americans generally, have decided an American question. What the possible, and some may think certain, results or Effects consequent upon the decisim will be by their nature of great moment " to all whom it may concern " may be called a truism, but is no less important as such. So far as Europe is con cerned, perhaps the most salient practical point that suggests itself is, how will the question of the blockade be affected by the ttiumph of the party . _ that has elected Mr Lincoln ? Of course, I refer to its probable duration. lam one of those who, whether right or wrong, has been long convinced that the would.be monopolists and politically power ful "manufacturing corporations" of New Eighind, Pennsylvania, &c., are as anxio us t o k eep up th e blockade as they were willing if not to create, at least to envenom and continue the war, of which the blockade is considered a military necessity. Hold ing those opinions, it of course follows that I con sider the continuance of that party—the war party —in office forces the fact of the, so to say, unde fined upon the considere tion duration of ofallgreat the blockade le and maritime nations, especially those that have " reciprocity treaties " with the United States. attachedcandidate. In a former letter I ventured two orinions—one Was nearly certain ; that an exaggerated and the e e election other, to of theM r effect t o importancein England as to With the exception of the hypothesis that the civil war, ergo the blockade, might —by some unde fined process—end sooner if the Democratic parts came into power in March next than with Mr Lincoln as President, it is difficult to see what difference the affair makes to England. At least, I believe, the anti-British feeling, which has been taught in school books; inculcated from the denominational pulpits, and shouted by stump orators, aye, and by lecturers on . science and the belles lettres, in short, by the " politi• cians" of the Northern States bi 3 just as willing to show itself in aggressive action, whether a Lincoln or a M'Clellan occupied the White House, at Washington. I have not referred, and I do not now allude, to the generally inimical feeling towards our country, which appears to me the dominant antipathy of the ruling classes in the United States, in any accusa tory or deprecatory spirit, but because it is an im portant practical reality, and is evidently looked at as a "card" to be played by certain "British" dis appointed and dogmatical demagogues. These—so far as I understand their plans, or, as it would be said here, their platform—desire to upset the insti tutions more or less of our country ; and as some of them are " M.P.s" and Professors of Colleges in Great Britain, of their country. Failing, it seems, to receive the warm support from portions of the British people, which perhaps they at one time an ticipated, these persons are found interchanging communications —some published in extenso, others merely given as extracts, in the avowed, consistent anti-British journals of the Northern States. The election proceedings were very quietly con ducted in this city. _ __ If it be true, as was generally stated in Demo ()ratio circles, that the ult ra members of the Repub lican party wished for riots in order that New York might be placed under martial law, they were disappointed. One can hardly expect, however, that the most bitter Lincolnite citizen regretted another of Mr Seward's prophecies falling through, namely, that Southerners were vicariously to fire the Empire City on the Bth. Notwithstanding the bonfires and fireworks, and one or two electric lights, there were fewer normal fires on that night than usual. _ _ . The following description of the mode of voting the Ucited States may interest some of your readers : " WHO ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE.—For the information of our readers, and as a guide to them at the polls to-day, a statement of the qualifications of voters will be interesting and useful.

The Southern press ridicule Sherman's reported movement on Charleston. If true, they predict his failure. Early still confronts Sheridan above Strasburg. Rumours are current that tLe Administration will shortly offer peace prop)sitions to the South. General Butler's speech at the Fifth Avenue Hotel is said to foreshadow the programme of the Administration. General Butler, after visiting Washington, returned to the James River. The Governor of Pennsylvania has organised a militia in the border counties to resist the Confede rate raid. Rumours of changes in the Cabinet are still pre- valent. The crew of the Florida have been sent to the capitol prison at Washington. The Florida is ordered to New York for adjudication. The _Richmond Examiner thinks that the remon• strances of Brazil against the seizure of the Florida will prove unavailing unless backed by the great European Powers, which it considers improbable. The Examiner regards the Florida as lost. NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (Morning.) The Richmond papers assert that one column of Sherman's army has moved from Atlanta towards Selma, Alabama. Early has retreated towards Staunton.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE AT PRESTON.—At the County Police Court, Preston, on Saturday, a re. spectably-dressed man, named James Allanson, was charged by John Alston, gamekeeper to Mr E. Birley, with night poaching on certain land in Lea, near Preston, Als ton said that at twenty minutes past seven o'clock on the evening of the previous Thursday he caught the defend ant and another man with a net in a field he was Watch ing ; that he had a fight with the defendant, who had nothing in the shape of game about him ; that afterwards he allowed him to go away; and that about midnight, on the information he supplied to the police, the defendant was ordered out of his bed and taken to the lock• up for night poaching.—This was the whole of the evidence for the prosecution.—Mr Watson, solicitor, who appeared for the defendant, said that the case came before the Bench without the least corroboration, so far as the prosecution was con cerned ; that he should be able to prove that the defendant was at his own house at, and for some period after, the time the gamekeeper alleged that he saw him in the field poach ing ; that on the night in question he had occasion to meet a person in the neighbourhood, and whilst going through the field mentioned was pounced upon by the gamekeeper, and most savagely maltreated by him ; that about 8 o'clock he was seen at one of the houses in the locality with his face covered with blood; and that he went twice to the police court to lodge a charge against the gamekeeper, and obtain ing his apprehension for assaulting him, but could not get them to stir in the matter.—Four witnesses were then called in support of Mr Watson's statement. —Mr W. 0.

LAURIE'S ENTERTAINING LIBRARY, in the form of its ninth volume, presents its juvenile sub scribers with a charming little pocket edition of " The Pilgrim's Progress." The illustrations of this excellent little series of carefully selected masterpieces of imaginative literature hardly appears to us equal to those embellishing the earlier volumes of the Library, before the responsibility of publishing it had been ceded by the Messrs. Longman to Mr, Thomas Murby. Certainly the four engravings in the current volume are inferior to those we remember in several of its predecessors. They are from drawings by H. Sander son . I n thi s particular alone—namely, in the greater excellence of the embellishments scattered through the letter press —we hope to recognise an improvement in the subsequent issue of the Entertaining Library— a library in the selection of the component parts of which Mr. J. S. Laurie evidences the same rare and delightful discrimination as that we have already taken more than one occasion to commend. LAB still additional evidence. of which, we have but to notify the fact that the next, that is, the ninth, volume of this serial Shilling Library will consist of Oliver Goldsmith's immortal domestic romance of the " Vicar of Wakefield." THE DOUBLE CHRISTMAS NUMBER OF 66 CHAM. BERS'S JOURNAL" (published at 3d., and num. bering 32 double-columned pages of letterpress) is a bundle of half a dozen goodly Ghost stories tied about, as one may say, by the connecting thread of a narrative entitled " Tenants at Will." There is the story of a House and there is the story of a Grange—a sketch of a Painted Room, and another of Farthing Lodge—to say nothing of a Ghost in a Top Story and a Ghost Underground. For a good, goosefieshy, eltrich, eyrie, grimly, grisly, ghostly, goblin, set of make-believe spectral tales, commend us to the fra ternal group of contributors to this most §eason able miscellany. They are in their capacity, as veritable entertainers of the general public, far and away beyond the Davenport Brothers, The " structure " here reared—and peopled with ghosts—is vastly more interesting than those com mented upon by Mr Fay as Showman. The tangling and unravelling of the threads of these narratives, we cannot for our own part but regard as an operation very curiously entertaining in comparison with the dreary waiting for the tying and untying of the ropes of the two young spiritualistic acrobats. CASSELL'S ILLUSTRATED ALMANACK FOR 1865 although charged to the purchaser of it only Six pence, is a very marvel of excellence as an illus.- trated publication. The embellishments are at once profuae and well selected. The obituary for the past year ('63.'64) comprises engraved por traits of Lord Elgin and Archbishop Whately, of Pelissier the French Marshal, and of Thackeray the English Novelist. There are, besides this, delinea. tions of fearful catastrophes—four typical sketches of the Seasons—and a dozan views of the birth. places of celebrated men. The mere illuminated cover itself is ornamental, as the almanack lies un opened upon the table or what-not. DIETRICIISEN AND HANNAY'S W811.1030W11 Royal Almanack, in its new issue for 1865, thoroughly well sustains its high reputation as a repertory of valuable and reliable information. The present is the twenty-eighth year of its publication. It has long since, therefore, assumed its place by right among our popular favourites. And its claim to the continued occupancy of that place, it here fully sustains. Published by Mr Ed ward Cleaver, of 63, Oxford-street, " Dietrichsen and Hannay's Royal Almanack," although extending now in bulk to a goodly volume of letterpress, is still issued no more than eightpence. THE YELLOW FEVER, which has recently been devastating the Summer Islands, or Bermudas, we have now reason to hope is beginning to mitigate its ravages. Out of the seven humane and skilled physicians who volunteered their services from Halifax alone, three have been striken down by the terrible malady they themselves had hastened to Bermuda to contend with. One of these three — Dr. John Gallagher, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals—succumbed ! Another, Dr. Cogan, of the 2d Queen's, has had the fever once. The third, not yet mentioned, Dr. Mac- Swiney, of the Royal Naval Hospitals, has had the fever twice—but, restored to convalescence from the second attack of the fever, he was actually, according to our last advices from Halifax, seriously meditating another (under the circumstances it al most seems to us a nearly Quixotic) expedition back from Halifax to the aid of the fever-stricken at Bers muda I Honour to these three true-hearted physi cians—men worthy of their distinguished profession. And, while all due and honourable mention is thus made of the Doctors, it is bu,t justice to add as a circumstance no less worthy of mention—in regard not to a physician but to an ecclesiastical dignitary —that the Very Rev. Monsignore Virtue, who holds the Government post of Catholic Chaplain to the troops stationed at Bermuda, although upon the eve of taking his departure for England upon a holiday excursion when the Yellow Fever first manifested itself in the Islands—voluntarily ab stained from holding by his original arrangements and has ever since then been assiduously occupied night and day in personal attendance upon all ranks and classes of the effi)cted population. GENERALS LEE AND GRANT.—Lea does not, as you perceive, punctuate closely ; and nowhere in his letter does he write out the word "and," but in variably uses the abbreviation " &." And yet he pauses long enough to dot all his " i's" and cross all his " t's." All his letters are irawn nearly straight up and down the paper; in other words, they are like himself, round, full, bold, and upright, inclining neither to the right nor the left, and standing firmly on their base, as if they disdained all assistance. They are so clear and precise, so round and weighty and distinct, that each letter reminds one of a solid cannon ball, and each word of a cluster of grape shot. General Grant's handwriting, on the contrary, though not so bold and distinct, nor the letters so large and round and erect, is, nevertheless, very legible and very striking. It is full of energy and action, and his letters all incline to the right, and follow one atter another, with a little space between them, as if they represented an equal number of his brigades on a rapid march round Lee's right. Among chirographers his hand would be called a running hand. The words occupy much space from left to right, and still they are clear and legible, He pays more attention to punctuation than General Lee, abbreviates less, and is equally careful of his " i's " and " t's." It may be the work of imagination, yet in reading his letter I cannot but picture the writer as a restless, nervous, energetic man, full of fire and action, always in motion, and aIWaY4 ill 4 hurry.— .eliner ican raper. /ME SUrv, LO.NDON, I-4 ' TUESDAY EVENING: NOVEMBER 29, 1864.' and the admiration of others, but much remains to be done. If the entrances to these refuges are gnafded by cerberi in the shape of precedent and prejudice, what hope remains for those who have not the power to establish the one, nor the ability to override the other. It is idle for us to boast of this admirable arrangement, or to cite this excellent plan if great mistakes are every day apparent and wanton abuses prevail in the system. A more fla• grant case of want of management than was re corded last week has seldom come under notice, and ought really to call attention to the subject of due provision for our disabled seamen. The Warrior was paid out of commission at Portsmouth, and it appears that the average amount of accidents oc curred during the term of the ship's commission• 6 One seaman fell from the maintop and broke both his thighs, another was knocked down in coaling ship and broke his leg and collar bone, and another fell from the topgallant yard." It is scarcely neces. sary to add that by these cabualties these unfortu- nate sufferers have been thrown into a state of help. lessness, and from not being in a position of earning their livelihood they are now dependent on charity and doomed to a wretched condition for the re• mainder of their existence. The first idea that sug. gests itself to the reader who dwells on the cala. mities, is that some provision will be made by the service to which these men devoted themselves to the casualties of which they have fallen victims. It is, however, true, though sad, that no provision whatever is made for those who thus exposed their lives to great risk, and incurred grievous injuries in . so doing. It is difficult to conceive the meaning of such a striking oversight on the part of those who make the arrangements and concoct the laws of our naval service. To be unmindful of the wel fare of the working members of his community has always been rightly held to be a flaw in the cha. ratter, and a slur an the renown of a general, and no naval commander should be unmindful of his seamen.

The Malta leaves Buz for Bombay this afters noon. for a vote for members of Congress and the State Assembly. Persons whose names are not on the registry list must hand in an affidavit of excuse, supported by the oath of a house holder. Persons boarding, whether married or single are regarded as householders as well as those who own or keep house. The votes of soldiers and sailors whose names are entered on the registry list must be received, and can not be challenged ; and those whose names are not registered, require a householder's affidavit, which entitles the ballot to pass unchallenged. The inspectors have a large discretion and authority, and their decision is final. Their duty is to see that all persons legally entitled to vote shall do so, and to decide on the qualifications of voters. With the character of the ballot which a voter may choose to deposit, they have nothing to do. Tho inspector must receive any bit of paper a voter chooses to offer as a ballot If a voter takes the required election oath, and swears in his vote, his ballot must be received, and the party, if not legally entitled to vote, is then subject to arrest and punishment under the State laws. Inspectors may challenge voters ; other challengers must reside in the election district, and no discussion is permitted except a concise statement of the grounds of objection. The inspector then gives his decision, from which there is no appeal. Ballots badly spelled, or containing the names of candidates, with or without their initial names, must be admitted, provided they sound correctly, and there is not more than one can didate of the same name. The law liberally construes the intentions of the voters, who may write what name they please on their ballots, the written names, either in ink or pencil, always controlling the printed names. The poll opens at sunrise-6 41 a.m., and closes at sunset, 444 p.m." (Arrival of the North American.) NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (Evening). Nothing official has been received from Sherman this week. The Western press assert that, after destroying the public buildings, manufactories, the defensive works, and the railroads north and south of Atlanta, he moved southward from the city with 50,000 men, carrying 30 days' rations. It is reported that he is marching on Macon and Augusta, on his way to strike ChArleston and Sa• vannah. Generals Giilem and Thomas, the former in East and the latter in West Tennessee, have been left to hold Hood and Forrest in check. The news of Sherman's evacuation of Atlanta reached Richmond on Tuesday. It is reported that Wheeler's cavalry made a dash into Atlanta when nearly all the Federal troops had left the city. The Federals have destroyed nearly all the public properly at Rome. Hood's army is estimated at 300,000 men, and is reported to be concentrated at Florence in Ala- , bama. FRANCE. LITERATURE. LE CORRESPONDANT—in its two last numbers, has been especially remarkable, for inasmuch as the contents of each have been led off by a paper of considerable importance from no less gifted a hand than that of the Comte deFalloux. In No. 109, dated the 25 Octobre, the Comte do Fallout descanted upon the theme of the Franco-Italian Convention. In No. 110, but just now published, being dated in effect as recently as the 25th of this present month of November, the same learned and eloquent Academician pens in the open ing paper of the instalment, what he terms an Ilineraire from Turin to Rotne. The title, how ever, must not be mistaken. now that wo have given it. And for this reason—That it is not the title of a single essay or argument, but the general title given by the Comte de Fallout to a collection of essays or arguments—all of them, of course, of a kindred character. So that the particular paper now immediately before us in the November number of Le Correspondani iR not so much the Itineraire itself, as the prefatory chapter or introduction to the Itine'raire. As such, we welcome it, heartily, It is the avant-courier of a goodly volume now an- flounced by M. Douniol as upon the eve of publics' tion. As indicative of the variety noticeable in the contents of the annual instalment of our contem porary, let us here briefly notify the circumstance that in this particular number of Le Correspondant, while our contributor discourses very ably upon " Certain Novelties in the History of Art," another scrutinizes the "Negotiations of Cardinal Consalvi"—that while M. Rameau comments very impressively upon the " Catholic Movement in the United States," M. Foisset vouchsafes an honest criticism on M. Guizot's " Religious Meditations." Appended to these and half a dozen other papers we have at the close of the present instalment of Le Correspondant, the usual batch of minor criti cisms and abbreviated record of the events of the month, followed, this time, by a very brief biblio. graphical bulletin.
